When the stranger came to town
All the people waltzed with wonder
In their tattered clothes they gather round
And raised their eyes up from the dust
And the stranger said to them
I have been upon the mountain
I have witnessed forces like cannons
That can ram you to the ground
Stand up on your feet
Your life is short as hell
You could be dead tomorrow
Today maybe your last chance
To believe in yourself
Your last chance
To yell
Your last chance
To be good to yourself
Your last chance
To drink from life's well
In the crowd of voices heard
Should you get them before they get you
Should we strike the first blow
And you said, No, no, you don't understand,
The enemy is in your heart
Self-respect robbed by self-content
Look across the country
All the people with their dreams
Dead in their hearts
(Chorus)
To drink from the well
Oh yeah
Oooh wooo
Woooo
It could be your last chance
To believe in yourself
Your last chance to yell
Your last chance
To be good to yourself, hell
Your last chance
To drink from life's well
Drink from the well
Oh yeah, yeah
Oooooh wooo ooooh wooo
Drink from the well
